  • 2 2egg whiteegg whites
  • 1 pinch 1pinchcream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup 1/2cupgranulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp 1/2tspground coffee, (optional)

Preparation

In large bowl, dissolve instant coffee in 1/2 tsp (2 mL) water. Add egg whites and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold in ground coffee (if using).

Using pastry bag or spoon, pipe meringue into 1-inch (2.5 cm) mounds on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
